Abstract
This thesis studies how Rupi Kaur (1992), an Indian-born Canadian social media poet who deals with hurt, healing, self-love, and empowerment, empowers women through feminist elements in her first poetry collection milk and honey (2014). Kaur has a large number of followers on social media, and an online community that offers a safe space for everyone. She is known for being an advocate of human rights and aims to empower marginalised groups, herself having a doubly marginalised identity, being both a woman and an immigrant.
